Diamondbacks claim Jesus Sanchez as they host Marlins on September 14

Summary

The Arizona Diamondbacks host the Miami Marlins on September 14 in a crucial matchup as both teams push towards the end of the season. The Diamondbacks have claimed outfielder Jesus Sanchez off waivers to strengthen their roster with a left-handed bat, aiming to improve their performance against right-handed pitchers. Sanchez, coming from the Toronto Blue Jays, is expected to primarily serve as a designated hitter. On the mound, Arizona's Corbin Burnes is making his second start after a significant injury layoff, while Miami's Sandy Alcantara, a former Cy Young winner, aims to end his season strong. The game is still underway.
